2010 Royal Enfield Bullet Motorcycles

Royal Enfield Motorcycles

In 1893, the
Enfield Manufacturing Company Ltd was registered to manufacture bicycles. In 1911, prior to the outbreak of
the WWI the company added Royal to its name and became Royal Enfield. Royal Enfield supplied large numbers of
motorcycles to the British War Department during WWI and would be called
upon again during WWII.

From 1955 to
1959, Royal Enfield’s were painted red, and marketed in the USA as Indian
Motorcycles by the Brockhouse Corporation, who had control of the Indian Sales
Corporation. The agreement ended in 1960,
and from 1961, they were available in the US under their own name Royal Enfield
Motorcycles.

In 1955, the
Indian government looked for a suitable motorcycle for its police and army. They looked at the Bullet to do this job and
so it was chosen as the most suitable bike for the job. Royal Enfield India is still manufacturing in
India and is being exported to Europe as well as North America and Australia.

2010 Royal Enfield Bullet G5 Classic EFI

The 2010 Royal Enfield Bullet G5 Classic EFI has improved suspension, higher cruising speed, and better handling. The hand painted pinstripes and the color is a blast from the past in the looks department. One thing that is not stuck in the past is maintenance and fuel economy. Simplified maintenance makes it easy to take care of and the 85 mpg fuel economy makes it easier to top off the gas tank.

2010 Royal Enfield C5's

Royal Enfield Bullet C5 Classic EFI

This motorcycle takes
its styling cues from the simplicity of the early
1950’s. It combines the celebrated
design and heritage but with the today’s technology. As it cruises down the road you will think
you have stepped back in time. As you
roll up to a stop onlookers will think they are admiring a well cared for antique
motorcycle, one that has been restored to perfection. The Bullet C5 Classic has received great
reviews.

Good hub. I've been doing some movie extra work recently and they are using two Royal Enfields in the movie. They look like they are the G% Military EF1 model by the look of it, real classic looking bikes.

It was a model G with girder forks and a rigid back end, it was powereed by a thing called a mag lighter.
